Nous montrons que l’ensemble des racines modulo une puissance d’un nombre premier d’un polynôme à coefficients entiers de degré $d$ est une union d’au plus $d$ progressions arithmétiques de modules assez grands. Nous en déduisons une majoration du nombre de ses racines dans un intervalle réel court.

It is proved that the solution to the initial value problem ${\partial }_{t}u=\partial {²}_{x}u+u²$, u(0,x) = 1/(1+x²), does not belong to the Gevrey class $G^s$ in time for 0 ≤ s < 1. The proof is based on an estimation of a double sum of products of binomial coefficients.

Let $a$, $b$ and $c$ be fixed complex numbers. Let $M_n(a,b,c)$ be the $n\times n$ Toeplitz matrix all of whose entries above the diagonal are $a$, all of whose entries below the diagonal are $b$, and all of whose entries on the diagonal are $c$. For $1\le k\le n$, each $k\times k$ principal minor of $M_n(a,b,c)$ has the same value. We find explicit and recursive formulae for the principal minors and the characteristic polynomial of $M_n(a,b,c)$. We also show that all complex polynomials in $M_n(a,b,c)$ are Toeplitz matrices. In particular, the inverse of $M_n(a,b,c)$ is a Toeplitz matrix when...

A slight modification of the proof of Szemerédi’s cube lemma gives that if a set $S\subset [1,n]$ satisfies $\left|S\right|\ge \frac{n}{2}$, then $S$ must contain a non-degenerate Hilbert cube of dimension $\lfloor {log}_2{log}_{2}n-3\rfloor$. In this paper we prove that in a random set $S$ determined by $\mathrm{Pr}\{s\in S\}=\frac{1}{2}$ for $1\le s\le n$, the maximal dimension of non-degenerate Hilbert cubes is a.e. nearly ${log}_2{log}_{2}n+{log}_2{log}_2{log}_{2}n$ and determine the threshold function for a non-degenerate $k$-cube.

Let $p=1+2^{e+1}q$ be an odd prime number with q an odd integer. Let δ (resp. φ) be an odd (resp. even) Dirichlet character of conductor p and order $2^{e+1}$ (resp. order $d_{\phi }$ dividing q), and let ψₙ be an even character of conductor $p^{n+1}$ and order pⁿ. We put χ = δφψₙ, whose value is contained in $Kₙ=\mathbb{Q}\left({\zeta }_{(p-1)pⁿ}\right)$. It is well known that the Bernoulli number $B_{1,\chi }$ is not zero, which is shown in an analytic way. In the extreme cases $d_{\phi }=1$ and q, we show, in an algebraic and elementary manner, a stronger nonvanishing result: $T{r}_{n/1}\left(\xi B_{1,\chi }\right)\ne 0$ for any pⁿth root ξ...
